Whistleblower report accuses Trump Pentagon pick of financial mismanagement, intoxication and sexist behavior

President-elect Donald Trump's pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, was reportedly forced out of two leadership roles at veteran-focused non-profits amid allegations of financial mismanagement, drunkenness and sexist behavior.

A lengthy account in the New Yorker, based on interviews with whistleblowers, described Hegseth's behavior at two organizations where he held leadership positions: the Koch-backed group Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) and the AstroTurf" billionaire-backed Vets for Freedom (VFF).
